I wish I had escaped.

The hyperspace drive is nearly ready! All that is left to complete it is to process some complex mathematical formulas and build the ship. US Robots and Mechanical Men Inc. can be the first to accomplish it, yet there is a catch, as faster than light travel might be harmful to human beings, and create a dilemma with the First Law.

Yet another "Powell and Donovan" story, with some exiguous protagonism by Dr. Calvin, and "The Brain." This was mostly long and boring; another setting. another minor conflict with the three Laws, and a supposedly new story. How many times can you rehash the same formula in a single book without getting old? I wish I knew but I can't I haven't finished the book yet. I'm on seven of nine though.

Ojala hubiera escapado.

¡El motor de viaje hiperespacial está casi listo! Todo lo que falta para completarlo es procesar algunas complejas fórmulas matemáticas y construir la nave. US Robots and Mechanical Men Inc. puede ser la primera en lograrlo, pero hay un problema, ya que viajar a la velocidad de la luz podría ser perjudicial para los seres humanos, y crear un dilema con la Primera Ley.

Y otra historia más de "Powell y Donovan" , con algún exiguo protagonismo de la Dra. Calvin, y "El Cerebro". Esto fue en su mayor parte largo y aburrido; otro escenario, otro conflicto menor con las tres Leyes, y otra supuestamente nueva historia ¿Cuántas veces podés repetir la misma fórmula en un solo libro sin que se desgaste? Ojalá lo supiera pero no puedo, todavía no terminé el libro. Aunque voy en siete de nueve.
